Fr. Hendrickson’s Vision for Regis

"The institution’s strength in mission, commitment to student belonging and success, its diverse academic profile, and a clear track record of innovation and service position the University for a bright future. In its clear Jesuit identity, and facing the headwinds of higher education, Regis is rooted and ready." – Rev. D. Scott Hendrickson, S.J., D.Phil.

Under Fr. Hendrickson’s leadership, Regis is forging a renewed culture of academic excellence that champions liberal arts scholarship, incisive critical thinking, and innovative creative expression.

Innovate Academics

Reimagine traditional, post-traditional, graduate, and doctoral education that is both market responsive and financially sustainable.
